75 and 75D variants increased performance from July 1st - software and hardware improvements?

[Carl]

Interesting, thanks. Does that mean you could now fold down the center rear seat, e.g. to pass through ski's?

 

[Bumper]

Interesting. Delivery within 2 weeks of production?

The start date is a bit unknown as "My Tesla" page showed I was in Pre-production while my DS was telling me it was being built. I'm told it only took 4-5 days to build. DS called me on Aug 4 saying it was done and is loaded on a truck. Arrived in town Aug 11 and I picked it up afternoon of the 14th.

Hey...can you confirm if you have a 75 kWh battery or 85 kWh battery by looking at the battery sticker?

75.

It doesn't look that way based on the vague images available. It's probably still the same 60/40 split, but we won't know for sure until people start taking delivery since Tesla is very secret about the changes just like AP2.5 and other potential changes that might be due.

75.

Thanks! And this is on a RWD-car?
The 85kWh-packs that has been confirmed on EU-cars are ALL on 75D-models.

Did anyone else get the August 2017 Update Email?

Is there some light at the end of the tunnel for those of us who have not received the increased performance?

Yep all Tesla owners with a My Tesla account got that email.

Great, so where is the over the air update they are referring to?

 

[boonedocks]

Bundled with the SS SilkySmooth SomethingSpecial AP2 EAP update. Not SS but a PP PipeDream at the moment.

It will come with the rain-sensing windshield wipers update.

"In addition, new Model S and Model X 75 kWh vehicles received an over-the-air software update and now have improved performance, with the ability to accelerate from zero to 60 mph one second faster."

I did the the email from Tesla.

I wonder what classifies as "NEW" will receive the over the air update

 

[Pandamoanium]

All Model S ordered after 22 July will get a completely re-designed back seat. Instead of the "bench" the back seat now is similar designed as the premium front seats and have three separate seats. The new back seat looks much better and probably more comfortable also!

Other changes is also that the center console now will be completely covered in the premium interior material instead of the plastic center console that has been installed in cars ordered prior to July 22.

Interesting, I didn't see this, where are the pictures of this?

I got the email too. I can only hope that the "new" according to Tesla is AP 2.0.

But I think reality will be different. One second faster is definitely nice but I wouldn't lose my sleep over it.

I am keeping this 1 second performance fantasy alive anyway ... I texted my OA and he indicated it was going to be via a software update... but then again i asked what release and he went silent ... i don't think they tell the OA team much... we shall see fingers crossed....
